Preorders for the upcoming Series 2 2022-23 are now available! And even though Upper Deck will let us wait a little longer before revealing its official checklist, here is what you can expect from this new series that will be available on February 15^th.

Which popular inserts will be back in this series?

• Loyal to its tradition, the series will include 50 new Young Guns. Even though those cards are produced in limited quantities, a hobby box will still contain an average of 6 Young Guns.
• Lots of parallel cards are also back, such as French variants (1:30 for veterans and 1:120 for rookies), Clear Cuts (1:96 for veterans and 1:288 for rookies, still hobby exclusive) and numbered Exclusives (/100) and High Gloss (/10).
• Many inserts are also coming back, notably UD Potraits, various colored Dazzlers and UD Canvas. Series 2 will be adding 150 new UD Canvas to the 120 included in Series 1, bringing the total to an impressive 270. Along with the 90 veteran (1:8) and 30 rookie (1:48) cards, 30 new UD Canvas are added to the set and include 15 High Series Retired as well as 15 High Series Program of Excellence cards (1:192).
• Series 2 will also be pursuing Honor Roll (1:12), Population Count and Fluorescence (1:5 to 1:150 depending on the color) sets.
• It will still include many cards containing game-worn memorabilia, notably Rookie Materials (1:144) and Patch parallels (numbered to just 25).
• Day With the Cup remain very rare inserts with chances to get hold of one estimated to 1:1000 in hobby packs.
